Name your Literary Poison ....

"In Sunshine and In Shadow" is my favourite short story and I really loved "Don't look Back", my fave so far of Josh's stand alones.

Swede....wow. You are going to wind up with more Josh reads than I have. I have read all the series, the stand alones and shorts. I have read one of the collaborations. I still have more to go. Right now I am .....slowly.....reading Cut and Run....finished the series. There is a 4th book coming sometime. I love this serie. I think I will read the rest of Madeleine and Abigale's books. I like their style.

Just wanted to say I miss you all but I will be taking a sabbatical due to the unexpected passing of my soul mate and husband Paul. Jamie Fraser(Diana Gabaldon) said it best... something to Claire about Claire have to live her life like with her heart from her chest. Anyway, I'll be back when I can. Love you all.

thank you everyone for the love and support. It is so hard. I feel like I know every one of you personally from your posts and opinions and I feel like your are all a warm blanket trying to comfort me. Thank you. You know it's bad when I got emails that I was delivered 4 new releases on my kindle and I could care less. Love you all and I will try to check in every now and then. And you Diana Gabaldon and Jeaniene Frost fans, there are threads there, too for me with the author's support on both. I feel the love from everyone. here are some links that some people posted for Paul

I keep forgetting. My brain is not all here due to everything, but Melissa Marr's YA fae series is going movie or Tv (I forget which). Interesting

Uapeople, I haven't been on the boards for awhile and I just read your post. I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you.

Thank you calimama.

I still haven't finished the 1st YA book by Kim Harrison. About half way now. Too emotionally drained.

Subject: Re: Name your Literary Poison .... Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:28 pm

I just saw they are offering the first 3 Gail Carriger The Parasol Protectorate series for ebooks for a $10 bundle. They offer for Kindle or Nook. Just an FYI!! It's on my TBR.

I'm reading Book 4 of the Parasol Protectorate, Heartless, right now.

And it's fabulous. Carriger's writing is incredibly witty. Carriger has found the perfect addition to werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and preternatural in her books: Zombie Porcupines! It doesn't get much better than that.

I just started First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones. (28% of the way through)

Funny stuff, so far.

Subject: Re: Name your Literary Poison .... Tue Jul 12, 2011 4:36 am

Loved that book, calimama. Looking forward to when the second book comes out.

There's a free online short that takes place after First Grave, too.

Let me know when you finish and I'll post the link.

Thanks. Picked it up. usually I think they are like 7.99 each.

Sounds like First Grave may be light enough to read. I may also try the new Karen Chance when the fog clears a little more. My memory and concentration is still shot. I;m still only 60% through the Kim Harrison YA 1st one (I always forget the name- see memory again). It is Madison Avery though. That I can remember.

Subject: Re: Name your Literary Poison .... Wed Jul 13, 2011 8:55 am

Uap, if you are enjoying the Madison Avery books, you probably would enjoy First Grave. Both have grim reapers as main characters. First Grave is wickedly funny. It's rapid fire humor - loads of laughs!
I hope you enjoy Soulless. That's one of my favorites!

Subject: Re: Name your Literary Poison .... Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:21 am

The parasol protectorate series is great, has fantastic humor!!!!!!! And you'll love it UA its got a wonderful Scottish werewolf eho i adore!!!

Subject: Re: Name your Literary Poison .... Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:30 am

UA- First Grave on the Right was very funny. Lots of snarky humor and the next one actually looks to be better than the first!!

If you really want something silly and laugh out loud funny, I would highly recommend trying out Ethan Day's Sno Ho and Life in Fusion. Funniest books I have ever read. I laughed out loud about every 5 minutes and had a smile on my face for most of the books.

Subject: Re: Name your Literary Poison .... Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:52 am

Life In Fusion has some sad backstory to it. Maybe you would want to wait on that one, uap. First Grave On The Right is a funny book and a fairly easy read. It's also on the short side for a novel.

Subject: Re: Name your Literary Poison .... Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:05 pm

Just finished HEXED book 2 of The Iron Druid Chronicles. Very funny! I like this one better than the first. Anyone who likes Harry Dresden should like these. I couldn't get into Harry but I really like these. Waiting for HAMMERED! Thanks again Dopple draw u heart
